It would be helpful if you could link to or provide specific information regarding the comment that he has been twice convicted of fraud. I know he was in all kind of legal trouble following the collapse of Petroldragon. But his defenders say this was due either to mafioso retaliation or the government abruptly changing regulations on him such that his operations became unprofitable and saddled with 'hazardous waste' that had been redesignated as such.

If this is basically the case and he was earnest about trying to run a successful business creating biodiesel, then I don't see how he can be fairly described as committing 'fraud.' So I would like to hear your explanation or a reference explaining this claim. The fact that investors lost money, etc., does not itself justify a fraud charge unless someone can show that Rossi _intended_ to take their money without recompense or any chance for the business to succeed.

I find it interesting, for example, that there has been little out of Italy itself attacking his past during the ECAT saga. Instead it's been critics further afield. Shouldn't Italians themselves who were burned by him be the first to denounce him? Or am I missing some major criticisms/warnings coming from Italian media that you could point out to me?

I find it interesting that almost no one writes about the ‘balance bracelet’ fraud. Not to mention the homeopathic medicine fraud supported by Kevmo and Dr. Josephson.
